    Hi folks – seeking advice for an AeT test with ITB syndrome.

    The flat running impact flares up my ITB syndrome while uphill running does not.  Can I perform an AeT with gradients at 8-10% and have the same impact as the standard test at 2%?  I’m assuming leg strength / fatigue will likely be a factor?  Appreciate any guidance or thoughts

    David;

    Short answer: YES!  Since you are going to be limited to uphill hiking/running while injured, it makes sense to conduct the drift test at the same gradient you will be training on.

    Good luck with the injury. ITB syndrome is no joke.
